Nguyên liệu

1 ½ heaping cups pecan halves

1 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled until no longer warm)

1 ¼ cup dark brown sugar (tightly packed)

½ cup granulated sugar

1 large egg + 1 egg yolk (room temperature preferred)

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

3 cups all purpose flour**

1 teaspoon cornstarch

¾ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon baking powder

¾ teaspoon salt

½ cup Heath Toffee bits (optional, but recommended!)

Flaky sea salt (for sprinkling, optional)

Hướng dẫn

Toast Pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Spread pecan halves evenly over cookie sheet and bake on 350F (175C) for 3-5 minutes.

Remove from oven (do not turn off your oven) and set aside while you prepare your cookie dough.

Cookie Dough

In a large bowl, combine melted butter and sugars. Stir well.

Add eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and stir until well-combined.

In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients until completely combined.

Coarsely chop your pecans then stir in the pecans and toffee bits until combined.

Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and drop cookie dough by heaping 1 ½ Tablespoon onto prepared cookie sheet, spacing at least 2" apart.

Transfer to 350F oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Cookies should still look soft/slightly under-done in the centers. Sprinkle with sea salt while warm.

Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet and they will finish baking through as they cool but will stay nice and soft!

Ghi chú

Made these this morning as I thought they would be good cookies to have as a Thanksgiving treat. Good is not the word, GREAT is the word, I cooked up 9 for Denny and I to do taste testing and froze the other 28. I left off the sea salt sprinkling because I m reducing my salt intake but Denny wanted a sprinkling of salt so next time I will bake them both ways. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

Baked the other 28 cookies and I am here to report that the sprinkling of a little sea salt sent these over the top. I am quoting Denny here, but I also thought they were good but I also like them without. KH: November 17, 2025
